Senior Lizzy Karoly has taken on a leadership role as one of just three seniors on the Horned Frog soccer team. Karoly took the school's all-time goals scored record on Sept. 6 in a match at Rice, when she netted her 25th career goal in a 2-1 win. The soccer team won two home games last weekend, 5-2 against Stephen F. Austin and 4-0 against Texas Woman's University.

Q: Because there are only three seniors on the team, how does that affect the team makeup and the seniors' roles as leaders?

The draft for a new faculty tenure appeal policy, designed to resolve grievances in a quicker way, has reached its final stages and is expected to reach the board of trustees for approval later this year, a former Faculty Senate representative said.

Stuart Youngblood, professor of management and former faculty senator who is working on the draft, said the Faculty Reappointment, Tenure and Promotion Appeal Policy will speed up and clarify the process of submitting grievances. The document is intended to replace the current Faculty Grievance Policy, which was revised in 1998.

No, not the football team, but our beloved band. Long sleeves, gloves, dress pants, furry hats and a relatively heavy instrument are the perfect elements for an uncomfortably hot experience. Yet they are there in full, every home game, to make it noisier, louder and more spirited.

They lift school spirit for free, yet no one could pay to give them a lift to the football game at Clemson University this past weekend.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke may say the recession is over, but most, if not all, will continue to feel the pinch as the faint economy wobbles toward recovery.

When finances are low, one of the first things to take a hit is entertainment. Some students, especially those who pay their own rent or take on other expenses, will find themselves passing on the latest blockbuster or limiting their trips to Whataburger. On a Friday night, they may find themselves hibernating, doing homework, or, God forbid, watching a Lifetime movie.
